Jovan Nenad (Serbian Cyrillic: Јован Ненад; Hungarian: Fekete Iván or János; c. 1492 – 26 July 1527), known as "the Black",[a] was a Serb military commander in the service of the Kingdom of Hungary who took advantage of a Hungarian military defeat at Mohács and subsequent struggle over the Hungarian throne to carve out his own state in the southern Pannonian Plain. He styled himself emperor (tsar).
Jovan Nenad is attributed by Serbian historians as the founder of Vojvodina and the leader of the last independent Serbian state before the Ottoman conquest.
